The remnants of Ike, with 45mph winds gusting to 75mph, are passing through the neighborhood right now. I'm posting this from my mobile phone -- power and 'net are out for the time being.
I just came inside after picking up some downed branches. We haven't yet lost any trees, but our neighbor's pear split in two.
Especially entertaining: a sheet of plywood, from a nearby school under construction, pinwheeling through the air.
The sound of transformers popping is a bit unnerving, but the feel of the wind is glorious.
